Surface Pro Pen pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop CS6. Was anyone able to get their surface pro to use the pen pressure sensitivity? In my photoshop settings when i turn on Pen Pressure for brush settings i see a yellow exclamation mark next to each settings which has to do with pen pressure. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

    Works better than any of the previous Wacom Penabled Windows Tablet PCs I've used since 2002!  http://pocketnow.com/2013/05/13/surface-pro-digital-artists-dream  Love it!

    I have the following questions :

    1.  Will this [work] on all drawing / canvasing applications even like  in "Paint" ?

    2.  Do I have to use a different / compatible stylus for this?

    Please suggest.

    Thanks,

    VN

    Hello VN_Surface! I will try to answer as clearly as possible >.< (I know I'll end up writing a messed up paragraph per question… sorry ._.)

    1. It will work on all drawing applications that require the WinTab driver. Paint, I believe, doesn't require the WinTab driver (your Surface Pro tablet would work with Paint ok even without this driver I think). I'm almost sure that nearly every drawing program can be supported for the SP device (except insanely resource intensive programs, which I know none of). Photoshop, Corel Painter, Zbrush, SAI (not sure), Fresh Paint, ArtRage, Sketchbook Pro, these are just a few of the most known which can be used with pressure sensitivity.
    2. TL;DR: Your tablet will work perfectly on these programs with or without the tablet, but to enable pressure sensitivity in the  programs that don't use the INK Api you'll need this driver.
    3. You can use the same stylus that ships with the Surface Pro, it will work no matter what, it also supports pressure sensitivity. If you feel it is uncomfortable, ugly, or just don't like it, there's a few other styluses compatible with the Surface Pro. If I find the link I'll post it here. :)
